    <p>Briefly, I am trying to write a routine that reads comma separated values from a file into a stl vector. This works fine. The values in the csv file might also be in double quotes so I have handled this too by trimming them. However, there is one problem where the values between the quotes might also have commas in them which are not to be treated as delimiters.</p> <p>If I have a file containing the line</p> <pre><code>"test1","te,st2","test3","test4" </code></pre> <p>My file routine reads this into a vector as</p> <pre><code>"test1" "te st2" "test3" "test4" </code></pre> <p>I wrote a routine which I just called PostProcessing. This would go through the vector and correct this problem. It would take each element and check of the first value was a quote. If so it would remove it. It would then look for another quote at the end of the string. If it found one it would just remove it and move onto the next item. If it didn't find one, it would keep going through the vector merging all the following items together until it did find the next quote. </p> <p>However, this works in merging "te and st2" together into element 2 (index 1) but when I try and erase the required element from the vector it must be failing as the resulting vector output is as follows:</p> <pre><code>test1 test2 st2" test3 "test4" </code></pre> <p>Note also the last element has not been processed because I derement the size of the count but as the vector erase has failed the true count hasn't actually changed.</p> <p>The PostProcessing code is below. What am I doing wrong?</p> <pre><code>bool MyClass::PostProcessing() { bool bRet = false; int nCount = m_vecFields.size(); for (int x = 0; x &lt; nCount; x++) { string sTemp = m_vecFields[x]; if (sTemp[0] == '"') { sTemp.erase(0,1); if (sTemp[sTemp.size()-1] == '"') { sTemp.erase(sTemp.size()-1, 1); m_vecFields[x] = sTemp; } else { // find next double quote and merge these vector items int offset = 1; bool bFound = false; while (x+offset &lt; nCount &amp;&amp; !bFound) { sTemp = sTemp + m_vecFields[x+offset]; if (sTemp[sTemp.size()-1] == '"') { // found corresponding " sTemp.erase(sTemp.size()-1,1); bFound = true; } else { offset++; } } if (bFound) { m_vecFields[x] = sTemp; // now remove required items from vector m_vecFields.erase(m_vecFields.begin()+x+1, m_vecFields.begin()+x+offset); nCount -= offset; } } } } return bRet; } </code></pre> <p><strong>Edit: I've spotted a couple of issues with the code which I will be correcting but they don't affect the question being asked.</strong></p>

    1. COI think it would be easier to find a solution to fix it **before** you add it to the `vector` instead of after. How about reading from a starting `"` until the next one is found (by using `string.Find()`)?

    2. CONo it wouldn't be easier in this case. It would take too long to explain. Thanks though.

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
